ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE UNITED STATES OF THE RECENT CANADIAN WILDFIRES AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH IMPACTS BY INCREASING EFFORTS TO EXTINGUISH THESE FIRES AND
PREVENT THEIR RECURRENCE
Mr. HOEVEN submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
S. Res. 811
Whereas the United States and Canada have a longstanding
and close relationship based on shared values and common
interests;
Whereas the shared border between the United States and
Canada should be managed to the benefit of the people
residing in both countries;
Whereas wildfires can adversely affect people on both sides
of the shared border;
Whereas the safety, health, and well-being of United States
residents is of the highest importance;
Whereas smoke from the recent wildfires in Canada has
adversely affected the safety, health, and well-being of
United States residents;
Whereas thousands of firefighters and emergency responders
provide service and sacrifice to combat wildfires in order to
protect lives and personal property under dangerous
conditions;
Whereas responsible forest management, including hazardous
fuels reduction, timber harvesting, grazing, and other forest
restoration practices help reduce the severity and frequency
of catastrophic wildfires; and
Whereas cooperation and collaboration between the United
States and Canada on wildfire response, wildfire prevention,
and long-term forest health and stewardship is in the mutual
interest of both countries: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) recognizes the significant adverse impact that smoke
from the recent Canadian wildfires has had on the United
States economy and the safety, health, and well-being of the
American people;
(2) calls upon the Government of Canada to take
responsibility for the cross-border impacts of these
wildfires, including by immediately increasing efforts to
extinguish the fires and prevent their recurrence; and
(3) urges President Donald Trump to further discuss with
Prime Minister Mark Carney the importance of extinguishing
these fires and preventing their recurrence.
